There are still two stages of "Starry Sky" sneaking away! Chinese players start with the physical disk and reveal the problem of Chinese translation

Last week, a foreign player posted a sneak video of Company B's annual masterpiece "Starry Sky" online, and the 42-minute content was extremely eye-catching. Subsequently, the foreign player also appeared in his short video and made a wave of sharp comments on the game.

But the good times did not last long, and the foreign player was quickly arrested on charges of theft and illegal possession of marijuana. In the process, everyone also learned that his real name was Darin Tyrone Harris, from Shelby County, Tennessee, USA.

However, just when everyone thought that the smuggling incident would come to an end from then on, there was a follow-up.

Because Darin Tyrone Harris changed hands on the physical plate of "Starfield" after releasing the video (allegedly for three times the original price). What's even more unexpected is that it was a Chinese player who bought this physical plate! He announced this on the 24th in Tieba and officially got the package on the 26th.

If you followed the original sneak videos, Darin Tyrone Harris had a lot of "ineffective operations" at the time. In addition to seeing the actual picture, players can learn no more than the content revealed in the B company trailer. And this Tieba brother, after the trial, also released some content without spoilers. To summarize, there are three main points:

(1) "The most beautiful and smooth XSX game I've ever seen, not as stable as a 30-frame game" (sic)

(2) Enemy equipment can be picked up but not obtained directly, but dropped randomly

(3) There is still a lot of room for improvement in Chinese localization, and it seems that there are some problems with translation

If the first two items describe only the performance and mechanics of the game, then the last content is closely related to the entire Chinese player base. "Starry Sky", as the first triple-A game launched after Company B was acquired by Microsoft, was not low in publicity, but it did not mention localization settings before.

According to the feedback of this Tieba brother, there is still some room for improvement in the use of some Chinese words in "Starry Sky". However, this is not caused by lack of game optimization and garbled characters, but mainly by translation problems. For example, "show me" is translated into colloquial "show me", which should actually mean "guide".

Some mission instructions also appear with strange phrases like "go to the nearby Earth Classic Coffee to get coffee". Objectively speaking, this sentence is no problem, but the name of this coffee shop is "Earth Classic Coffee", which is a bit awkward.

The reason for this result is probably that the translator cannot contact the game itself and cannot judge the context in which the words are used, otherwise there will be no translation content such as "show me". Problems like this may be discovered more after the official release of the game, but these things will not affect the player's understanding of the game content.

However, this Tieba brother has been "broken" at present, after all, it is difficult not to spoil it again. On the other hand, whether it is talking about what Starfield has done well or the problems that exist, it will cause controversy between different player groups. It was in this state that he finally chose to stop discussing the content of the game.

Since then, the "Starry Sky" steal incident has officially come to an end. Players who want to know more about the game may only have to wait for the official release of the game on September 6.

So what is everyone most looking forward to this game?
